PENTAGON‘s Kino uploaded a post on Instagram, explaining Australia’s situation and asking fans to help by donating:

 

Hello, this is Kino.

Due to its most severe drought since 1965 that is making the hot, dry weather worse, and because of the strong winds, there are huge, uncontrollable bushfires in Australia right now.

The affected area is more than a 100 times bigger than the size of Seoul. In addition to the damage to nature and the lives affected, over half a billion animals and insects have died because of the bushfires that have been burning for more than 6 months. Koalas, because they move slowly and are unable to escape the fires fast enough, have been especially affected, and reports say that ver 40% of them have died.

My heart hurts so much..

Thousands of firefighters, reservists and volunteers are all working together to contain the fires. I’d really appreciate it if we contributed to help save the animals and people of Australia. Lots of people all over the world are doing the same.

You can donate to Wires, WWF, RSPCA to help the koalas and other affected animals. To aid in the relief efforts in the affected areas, you can donate to The Salvation Army, Australian Red Cross, Vinnies, Foodbank, and many more organizations. Donations are also accepted through Naver Happy Bean.

Please spread the word around you, and it would be great if you would sincerely pray.

Along with me, let’s send the animals and the people of Australia some love, because they’re in pain. Thank you.
